Help! Freaking out! Took melatonin 3mg

So I haven't been dieting well for weeks.  I decided "melatonin is natural so why not?" after taking it my husband told me is not safe and can causes birth defects! Omg.  I'm 23 weeks.  I have been drinking water like a man Woman to flush it out.  Should I go to urgent care? What should I do?

Agree w above call it dr tomorrow.. Remember most/all herbal supplements/vitamins are off limits when prego. Just like other medications. The only thing I ever take when prego are Tylenol & Tums. I even had to change my regular face products (lotion/etc) because it had ingredients that can be harmful to the baby. Confirm w Ur dr but I think u can take Tylenol pm, but u shouldn't be taking it regularly.

Urgent care probably wouldn't be able to do anything for you. Just call your dr tomorrow.
